When picking names that sound like your real-life name, here’s some tips:
- Start with same letter. There will usually be 4-8 options with the Hot Wheels name.
- Narrow your options down some more by looking at the second letter of your name.
- Or find the most letters similar to your real-life name.
- Maybe you could find the length of word most similar to your real-life name.
I thought about programming a form where you can enter your real-life name, and then it will give you the closest Hot Wheels name. Maybe some day. For now, just look at the list of words.
